  The Three Graces of Val-Kill -...

  The Three Graces of Val-Kill changes the way we think about Eleanor Roosevelt. Emily Wilson examines what she calls the most formative period in Roosevelt’s life, from 1922 to 1936, when she cultivated an intimate friendship with Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, who helped her build a cottage on the Val-Kill Creek in Hyde Park on the Roosevelt family land. In the early years, the three women—the “three graces,” as Franklin Delano Roosevelt called them—were nearly inseparable and forged a female-centered community for each other, for family, and for New York’s progressive women. Examining this network of close female friends gives readers a more comprehensive picture of the Roosevelts and Eleanor’s burgeoning independence in the years that marked Franklin’s rise to power in politics. 
  Wilson takes care to show all the nuances and complexities of the women’s relationship, which blended the political with the personal. Val-Kill was not only home to Eleanor Roosevelt but also a crucial part of how she became one of the most admired American political figures of the twentieth century. In Wilson’s telling, she emerges out of the shadows of monumental histories and documentaries as a woman in search of herself.

  The Politics of Maps -...

  Blending science and technology studies, sociology, and geography with a host of archival material, in-depth interviews, and ethnographies, The Politics of Maps explores how the geographical sciences came to be entangled with the politics, territorial claim-making, and nation-state building of Israel/Palestine. Chapters chart the cartographic history of the region, from the introduction of Western scientific and legal paradigms that seemingly legitimized and depoliticized new land regimes to the rise of new mapping technologies and software that expanded access to cartography into the public sphere. Maps produced by various sectors like the "peace camps" or the Jewish community enhanced national belonging, while others, like that of the Green Line, served largely to divide. 
   
   
   
  The stories of Israel's many boundaries reveal that there is no absolute, technocratic solution to boundary-making. As boundaries continue to be controversial and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains intractable and unresolved, The Politics of Maps uses nationally-based cartographic discourses to provide insight into the complexity, fissures, and frictions within internal political debates, illuminating the persistent power of the nation-state as a framework for forging identities, citizens, and alliances.

  Living Between Worlds - Finding...

  What guides us when our world is changing? Discover the path to deeper meaning and purpose through depth psychology and classical thought.   How did we get to this crossroads in history? And will we make it through—individually and as a species? “We all assumed that learning, rationality, and good intentions would prove enough to bring us to the promised land,” says Dr. James Hollis. “But they haven’t and won’t. Yet what we also do not recognize sufficiently is that this human animal is equipped for survival. In time, as we have seen of life’s other insolubles, we grow large enough to contain what threatened to destroy us.”   Dr. Hollis’s readers know him as a penetrating thinker who brings profound insight and sophistication to the inner journey. In Living Between Worlds, he broadens his lens to encompass the relationship between our inner struggles and the rapidly shifting realities of modern human existence. You will learn to invoke the tools of depth psychology, classical literature, philosophy, dream work, and myth to gain access to the resources that supported our ancestors through their darkest hours. Through these paths of inner exploration, you will access your “locus of knowing”—an inner wellspring of deep resilience beyond the ego, always available to guide you back to the imperatives of your soul.   Though many of the challenges of our times are unique, the path through for us, personally and collectively, will always rely on our measureless capacity for creativity, wisdom, and connection to a reality larger than ourselves. Here you will find no easy answers or pat reassurances. Yet within the pages of Living Between Worlds, you will encounter causes for hope. “We can find what supports us when nothing supports us,” Hollis teaches. “By bearing the unbearable, we go through the desert to arrive at a nurturing oasis we did not know was there.”

  I humbly and gracefully say that this book, in my opinion, is optimistic and providential. It is experiential and offers more to the right souls who read the ideas correctly and with the right mindset. The content of this book came out of a flow during moments of deep connection, as if it were meant for a particular group of people. Often the author was surprised by the clarity that flowed into these moments and, at times, sat in shock because the insights were directly opposite to his beliefs and ways of doing things. He is fully convinced that the material belongs to the Universe and was intuited to him for his evolution and that of others. Often, he was inspired by his materials as if they were not his. The author experienced many awakening moments while channelling the wisdom shared in this book.  
  A state of vibration known as the “Divine vibration” is something our soul searches for naturally. It’s fulfilling and is placed at the highest rank as a highly positive experience by our core self. Divine Vibration is everywhere. All we need to do to experience it is to tune in to that vibration. We have a powerful tuning machine called the mind. This mind can tune in to any vibration, from revenge to love, grief to bliss, poverty to prosperity, and demonic to divine. We must be skilled enough to steer it in the right direction. 
  This book will help tune you to experience the divine vibration that is both fulfilling and healing. I could feel the transmission of divine energy through the words and ideas presented here. If you are reading this book and feeling the auspiciousness, then it’s meant for you. Please be in the right frame of mind to receive it.
